Silvester Horne Institute, Church Stretton

I once wrote about the Liberal MP and Congregationalist minister Silvester Horne, who was the father of the comedian Kenneth Horne. In that post I mentioned that there was a Silvester Horne Institute erected (bold!) in his honour in Church Stretton.

Here is a photograph of it that I took last week. One day I shall go back to the town and photograph his grave. In the mean time you can read a whole book about Silvester Horne on the web.
